I am sorry, I myself do not have OCD. I am providing you with some additional links that may be of help to you:

Yes. I pick compulsively at my skin at I'm late to work most days. My current employer (NHS) has been fairly good about it so far, but if it continues I'll be dismissed. It's likely to happen. I've tried Fluoxetine and CBT for over a year and they haven't been helping much. I was sacked from a temp job in a bank for the same issue before that. It's horrible. I can't keep on losing jobs. So if you're in this position I feel for you.
